Catcher John Baker hopes to make his Grapefruit League debut this weekend

Catcher John Baker (sore right forearm) hit an opposite field home run in his first at-bat today in a minor league game against the Cardinals Triple-A team. He finished 2 for 3 and was hit by a pitch.

The plan is for Baker to throw around the bases on Friday — a drill that will test his arm. If that goes well, he could return to action Saturday or Sunday. He played in the University of Miami game before being sidelined.
Right-fielder Mike Stanton swung the bat today 25 times off a tee and said the left elbow that he hyper-extended a few days ago feels fine. He said the plan is to get into a game Saturday or Sunday…

Asked about the competition at first base between Gaby Sanchez and Logan Morrison, Gonzalez said: “It may be one of those things that goes all the way until the end.”
